Why did you cheat on me?

His heart still ached at the fact that he wasn’t man enough to open his eyes and tell her. Was it the fact that he was scared she would think he was a failure? Or maybe because he was scared she would leave him again. All he knew was that he needed her, and that he loved her more than a man should love a woman. His arms came around her tighter, wishing he didn’t have let her go again as she smiled against his chest.

“I have no clue what I’m gonna wear,” she said. A proud satisfied smile came over Lucas’ face. The thought of hearing and seeing that fabric rip still made the hairs on the back of his neck stand.

Man, it was hot.

“I’m pretty sure there is something here for you to wear,” he said quietly as he snuggled closer to her. He had taken her box home, but he was pretty sure there was a drawer of her clothes somewhere. She had practically lived with him when they were dating. The only time she went home was when he was on the road. When she left, she left almost everything.

“Audrey packed me a bag, but I doubt she packed much,” she said with a shrug.

“We’ll go out and get some stuff if you need it.”

“Okay,” she nodded.

Nothing was said as the sun continued to rise and filled the room with its beautiful rays of sunshine. Lucas felt like it was the start of his life, and he couldn’t wait to see what the day held. He just hoped it was everything he had prayed for.

“I’m sticky,” Fallon said out of nowhere. Lucas couldn’t contain the gut-busting laugh he let out. She couldn’t either and soon joined in with him as they slowly detangled from each other.

“I don’t know if I shut the door last night,” Lucas laughed as he pulled his shorts up. He looked over at Fallon, his eyes admiring her gloriously, beautiful, naked body while she giggled at the bed that was in shambles. They sure did do a number on that bed, he thought as his eyes raked her body. He took in her full br**sts that were bigger than he remembered. The way her tummy had little marks on them from where his son had grown and stretched her out. Along her ribs was the tattoo that Aiden had told him about, and he wondered what it said. When he looked up, Fallon was staring at him. “What does your tattoo say?”

Fallon looked down at her ribs, and smiled before looking up at Lucas. “For those I love, I will sacrifice. Then I have Aiden and Audrey along the inside of my arms,” she said showing him the inside of her arms. Heat filled him from head to toe as his eyes followed the words along her body. He moved around the bed, coming towards her before wrapping her up in his arms. Her perky warm breast collided against his hard chest as he grinned down at her, lust filling his eyes.

“Do you know how hot it makes me that you have ink on you?” he asked as he nipped at her bottom lip.

Fallon smiled as she ran her hands up his muscular arms. “I think I might have an idea,” she teased as she pushed her naked pelvis into his. Lucas’ control snapped and he picked her up, laying her back on the bed.

“Yeah, that shower is going to have to wait,” he said against her mouth.

She smiled as her hands reached down, letting him out of his shorts. “I thought you might say that.”

Chapter 26

Fallon was still lying in bed when Lucas brought her bag to her. He grinned down at her before throwing her phone beside her. “Audrey has called a couple times.”

Fallon smiled sweetly up at him before stretching her arms above her head. Lucas watched her for a moment and then shook his head before heading to the bathroom. She knew she had rocked his world a little before he left the bed and she couldn’t help the satisfied grin that graced her face. She rolled over her stomach, seeing the missed calls and texts from Audrey. Instead of reading them, she just called her.

“Um, yeah? Are you alive?!”

Fallon giggled. “Yes, sorry I haven’t called.”

Audrey started laughing and Fallon rolled her eyes. “Oh goodness, do I even want to ask?”

“I mean, if you are wondering if we have been having crazy monkey sex ever since I slapped him across the face, then yeah you may want to ask.”

That had both women in a fit of giggles. “Listen to you! Oh me, this is wonderful!”

Fallon felt wonderful. “Yeah, I’m staying tonight. I’ll look for a flight tomorrow,” she said nervously. She still couldn’t believe she was doing this, but she had to or she would forever ask why.

“Okay, sounds good. Me and Aiden are cool, we’re gonna have movie night.”

“Awesome, can I talk to him?”

“He’s in the bath. I’ll call you later.”

“Okay, I love you.”

Audrey giggled. “Sure you do you, naughty little hussy! I love you! Tell Lucas I said hi and way to go.”

“Hey!” Fallon shrieked.

Audrey laughed. “Bye, sister dear!”

The line went dead and Fallon shook her head. Whose side was Audrey on anyways?

Lucas’.

Fallon giggled as she crawled out of bed, going to her bag. When she opened it, her eyes went wide.

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” she said as she looked down at the many sets of bras and panties. Fallon pulled them all out, throwing them on the bed before picking up three very short dresses. They were Fallon’s party dresses for when she needed to flaunt her body for the good of wine. Audrey even included matching heels! “That sneak!”

“What’s wrong?”
